  • 20' A moment of madness from Pablo Gavira on 20 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Barcelona will be frustrated.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mouctar Diakhaby made 422 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 32' Poor challenge from Busquets. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.

  • 46' The 29-year-old Goncalo Guedes has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
